Capital   University. 


Capital   University 


Capital  University  was  founded  in  the  year  1S50.  It 
was  then,  and  is  now,  under  the  control  of  the  Evangelical 
Lutheran  Church  as  represented  by  the  Joint  Synod  of 
Ohio.  The  object  it  has  in  view  is  a  truly  liberal  educa- 
tion of  young  men,  which  can  only  take  place  where  the 
fear  of  God  and  the  instruction  in  His  Word  is  made  the 
ground-work  of  all  learning  and  wisdom.  With  this  aim 
in  view,  and  urged  by  the  great  necessity  of  a  College  as  a 
Preparatory  School  for  young  men  who  desire  to  study  for 
the  office  of  the  Holy  Ministry,  our  school  was  founded  and 
connected  with  an  older  institution  of  learning,  namely: 
"The  German  Evangelical  Lutheran  Seminary  of  the  Joint 
Synod  of  Ohio."  This  connection  it  still  preserves,  retain- 
ing, however,  its  independent  organization. 

Since  1853  the  College  continued  to  perform  its  humble 
but  important  work  in  the  now  old  Capital  University 
Building,  in  the  northern  part  of  the  city  of  Columbus. 
A  few  years  ago  it  was  deemed  advisable  by  Synod  to 
accept  a  very  valuable  and  appropriate  Ideation  immedi- 
ately to  the  east  of  Columbus.  The  old  college  building- 
was  disposed  of,  and  a  new  and  greatly  improved  edifice 
was  erected  on  the  ten  acre  lot  presented  t<»  the  Institution. 
A  commodious  boarding  ball  is  built  in  the  immediate 
vicinity  of  the  College,  which,  together  with  several  resi- 
dences of  Professors,  and  a  neat  church,  now  being  com- 
pleted, gives  the  whole  location  a  lively  and  inviting 
appearance.  It  forms,  in  fact,  already  a  pleasant  Little 
suburb  of  the  city,  presenting,  however,  all  the  advantages 
of  a  quiet  rural  life.  The  University  grounds  are  distant 
from  the  center  of  the  city  about  three  miles,  and  are  easy 
of  access,  being  situated  on  the  old  well-known  National 
Road.  A  street  railway,  now  operated  to  within  a  mile  of 
the  University,  and  which  will,  ere  l<»ng,  he  extended  to 
our  very  doors,  facilitates  the  intercourse  between  Colum- 
bus and  the  College. 


Organization. 


The  University  edifice  affords  ample  accommodations 
for  students — lecture  rooms,  society  halls,  and  everything 
that  can  render  such  an  institution  attractive.  The  de- 
sign is  to  have  only  two  students  occupy  the  same  room 
as  a  study  and  dormitory.  These  student-rooms  are  large 
enough  to  afford  all  the  necessary  convenience  to  make 
them,  for  the  time  being,  a  pleasant  home  for  the  occu- 
pants. 

ORGANIZATION. 


This  includes  the  Preparatory  or  Grammar  School,  the 
Collegiate  and  Theological  Departments. 

Grammar  School. — The  object  of  instruction  in  this 
department  is  to  give  a  solid  English  education,  to  lay  the 
foundation  for  a  thorough  study  of  the  Classics.  Mathe- 
matics, and  German,  and  especially  to  prepare  for  the 
regular  Collegiate  course.  The  time  required  in  this  de- 
partment will  always  depend  upon  the  proficiency  of  the 
individual  student  at  the  time  he  enters. 

Reports,  showing  the  grade  of  recitations  and  behavior 
of  the  students,  will  be  forwarded  to  parents  or  guardians 
twice  a  year — at  the  Christmas  vacation,  and  at  the  close  of 
the  year. 

College  Department. — The  regular  course  in  this  de- 
partment embraces  a  period  of  four  years,  and  aims  at  a 
thorough  training  upon  the  foundation  laid  in  the  Gram- 
mar School,  and  not  merely  at  conferring  the  Bachelor's 
Degree.  No  student  can  enter  this  course  unless  his  at- 
tainments are  such  that  he  can  pursue  the  studies  of  the 
respective  classes  with  advantage  to  himself. 

Students  from  other  institutions  must  sustain  an  ex- 
amination,  and  bring  certificates  of  honorable  dismission. 

A  report  exhibiting  the  standing  in  class  and  conduct 
of  each  student,  will  be  sent  to  the  parent  or  guardian, 
twice  during  tie'  year— as  in  (lie  Grammar  School. 

In   both  departments  students  must   pass  a   thorough 

examination     before     they     will     he    admitted     into    higher 

class*

Remarks  on  the  foregoing  Course. 


This  course  embraces  the  following  subjects: 

LATIN,    GREEK,    AND    HEBREW    LANGUAGES    AND    LITERATURE. 

The  studies  of  this  department  embrace  a  select  series 
of  Greek  and  Latin  classics,  accompanied  by  progressive 
exercises  in  the  analysis  and  composition  of  the  languages, 
and  a  course  of  lectures  on  Mythology,  Roman  and  Grecian 
Antiquities,  etc.,  exercises  in  Latin  and  Greek  Composi- 
tion, throughout  the  entire  course.  The  study  of  Hebrew 
is  begun  in  the  Senior  year  and  continued  throughout  the 
Theological  Course. 

MATHEMATICS. 

In  this  department  the  course  embraces  a  complete 
series  of  Pure  and  Applied  Mathematics,  and  the  aim  will 
be  to  impart  a  clear  and  comprehensive  knowledge  of  the 
principles,  and  to  familiarize  them  by  thorough  practice. 
In  this  connection  the  study  of  Theoretical  Mechanics  and 
Natural  Philosophy  is  also  pursued. 

HISTORY. 

The  endeavor  in  this  department  will  be  to  conduct 
the  student  through  a  careful  review  of  General  and  Sacred 
History,  to  incite  him  to  investigation,  and  to  give  some 
insight  into  the  philosophy  of  history. 

GERMAN. 

Much  attention  is  paid  to  this  study,  which  extends 
through  the  Preparatory  and  Collegiate  Departments. 
Latin,  Sacred  History,  Catechism,  and,  of  course,  German 
are  taught  mainly  by  means  of  the  German  language.  It 
includes  Grammar,  Reading  of  the  best  Selections  in  Prose 
and  Poetry,  Declamation,  History  of  German  Literature 
and  Compositions. 


12  Course  of  Study. 


ENGLISH    LITERATURE    AND    PHILOSOPHY. 

Through  the  whole  course  due  attention  will  be  given 
to  studies  in  this  department,  embracing  a  course  of  Com- 
position. Mental  and  Moral  Science,  Logic  and  Rhetoric. 
Pains  will  be  taken  to  train  students  to  think  clearly,  and 
express  thoughts  correctly. 

DEBATES,    ETC. 

Weekly  debates  and  exercises  in  composition  and  decla- 
mation are  held.  In  these  all  the  College  students  are  re- 
quired to  take  part. 

DEGREES. 

The  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  will  be  conferred  upon 
students  who  complete  satisfactorily  the  above  course.  The 
Master's  Degree  is  conferred  upon  graduades  of  three  years' 
standing,  who  have  pursued  professional  studies,  and  have 
proved  themselves  worthy  of  the  honor. 

DISCIPLINE. 

In  the  government  of  the  Institution,  the  Faculty  keep 
in  mind  that  most  of  the  students  are  of  an  age  which  ren- 
ders some  substitute  for  parental  superintendence  abso- 
lutely necessary.  Considering,  therefore,  the  government 
of  the  students  as  a  substitute  for  the  regulations  of  home. 
they  endeavor  to  bring  it  as  near  to  the  character  of  paren- 
tal control  as  the  nature  of  the  case  will  admit,  and  to 
attain  this  end,  not  wholly  nor  chiefly  by  constraint  and 
dread  of  penalty,  but  by  the  influence  of  persuasion  and 
kindness.  In  the  College,  however,  as  well  as  in  the  family 
or  community,  there  may  be  perverse  individuals  whom 
nothing  but  the  fear  of  penalty  will  influence.  Tn  respect 
to  such,  the  Faculty,  standing  in  the  place  of  parent  or 
guardian,  consider  themselves  bound  to  see  that  the  stu- 
dent be  kindly  and  faithfully  advised  and  admonished,  If 
this  correction  prove  insufficient,  regard  for  the  best  in- 
terest of  Buch  young  men,  and  proper  care  for  the  other 
members  of  the  Institution,  require  that  (bey  should  be

removed.  They  have  forfeited  all  claims  on  the  Institu- 
tion, by  violating  the  indispensable  conditions  on  which 
its  advantages  are  to  be  enjoyed,  and  will,  therefore,  be 
forthwith  returned  to  their  parents  or  guardians. 

RELIGIOUS    EXERCISES. 

The  students  are  required  to  attend  prayers  every 
morning  and  evening  in  the  College  Chapel,  and  public 
worship  on  Sunday,  in  one  of  the  Lutheran  churches,  un- 
less their  parents  or  guardians  direct  otherwise. 

LITERARY    SOCIETIES. 

There  are  two  Literary  Societies — the  Homonoia  (Eng- 
lish) and  the  Germania  (German)  connected  with  the 
College,  which  hold  weekly  meeting*  during  term  time, 
and  possess  valuable  libraries  of  select  and  miscellaneous 
books.  Large  halls,  well  furnished,  give  ample  accommo- 
dations for  these  existing  auxiliaries  of  college  education. 

EXPENSES. 

Tuition  in  Grammar  School,  per  year $25  00 

Tuition  in  Collegiate  Department,  per  year 40  00 

Room  rent,  per  year 10  00

Capital  University. 


German  Evangelical  Lutheran  Seminary 


This  Institution  has,  with  a  few  brief  intermissions, 
been  in  successful  operation  since  1830.  A  very  large  pro- 
portion of  the  ministers  representing  the  Lutheran  Church 
in  Ohio,  and  on  the  borders  of  adjoining  States,  were  pre- 
pared for  the  ministry  through  its  instrumentality.  It  is 
under  the  general  supervision  of  the  Evangelical  Lutheran 
Synod  of  Ohio  and  adjacent  States,  and  under  the  special 
control  of  a  Board  of  Directors.  Although  this  Board  con- 
stitutes a  part  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Capital  Univer- 
sity, it  has  an  independent  organization,  and  regulates  its 
own  affairs. 

1.  The  regulations  respecting  terms,  vacations,  board- 
ing, rooms,  deportment,  and  other  external  matters,  are, 
in  nearly  all  respects,  the  same  as  those  of  Capital  Uni- 
versity. 

2.  The  course  embraces  a  series  of  Lectures  in  the 
usual  branches  of  Exegetical,  Historical,  Systematic  and  Prac- 
tical Theology.  In  the  selection  of  text-books  due  reference 
is  had  to  the  original  design  of  the  Institution  as  a  Semi- 
nary of  the  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church,  as  its  name  implies 
and  its  constitution  requires;  the  principles  inculcated 
being  those  of  the  Lutheran  Confessions  or  Symbols.  A  spe- 
cial opportunity  is  afforded  weekly  for  practical  exercises  in 
Homiletics  and  kindred  matters. 

3.  The  German  and  English  languages  are  both  taught, 
and  both  are  used  as  vehicles  of  instruction.  This  rule  was 
adopted  by  the  Board  in  accordance  with  the  instructions 
of  the  Synod,  the  spirit  and  design  of  the  founders,  and 
the  actual  wants  of  the  Church.  Thus  the  benefit  of  the 
lectures  can  be  enjoyed  by  those  conversant  with  either 
language. 

4.  The  regular  course  requires  three  years1  attendance.  It 
is  earnestly  desired  that  all  who  have  the  ministry  in  view 


18  Lutheran  Seminary. 


should  attend  the  entire  course.  Exceptions  can  be  made 
only  in  peculiar  cases. 

5.  Satisfactory  evidence  of  good  Christian  character  and 
standing,  of  promising  talent  and  devotion  to  the  Church, 
is  required  as  a  qualification  for  admission.  Without  such 
testimonials  no  one  need  apply. 

6.  No  charge  is  made  for  tuition. 

7.  A  society  is  organized  among  the  members  of  the 
Theological  Class  for  mutual  benefit.  It  is  called  the 
Schmidt  Theological  Society,  after  one  of  the  venerated  foun- 
ders of  the  Institution.  The  exercises  of  this  association 
are,  Practical  Homiletics,  Criticism,  and  the  discussion  of 
theological  and  practical  questions. 

8.  Indigent  young  men,  possessing  the  necessary 
qualifications,  are  supported  mainly  by  a  Synodical  Educa- 
tion Society,  which  has  thus  far  been  a  great  blessing  to  the 
Church. 

9.  A  library,  containing  about  4,000  volumes,  is  at  the 
service  of  the  members  of  the  Institution,  under  certain 
restrictions. 

10.  According  to  a  resolution  of  the  Evangelical  Lu- 
theran Joint  Synod  of  Ohio,  convening  in  Allegheny  City, 
October  18th,  1882,  a 

PRACTICAL    DEPARTMENT 

was  instituted  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  and  is  now  in 
operation.  The  students  of  this  department  are  subject  to 
all  the  rules  and  regulations  governing  the  Seminary 
proper.  The  course  of  study,  requiring  an  attendance  of 
two  years,  is  subjoined,  and  will  show  the  educational 
facilities  therein   offered.     All   instruction  in  this  depart- 


ment is  in  C
